Conversion of Carbon Dioxide into Liquid Hydrocarbons Using Cobalt-Bearing Catalysts

Aquatic environmental pollution due to petroleum waste can cause disruption to the environment and damaging of flora and fauna. It has been reported that petroleum contaminatin occurs in the Bengawan Solo river, East Java Province. Liquid hydrocarbon waste pollution can be remediate through various processes, one of them is biodegradation. Biodegradation a part of bioremediation, is the process by which organic substances are decomposed by microorganisms into simpler substances such as carbon dioxide, water and ammonia. Bioremediation has minor side effects compare to other methods because it’s more effective, efficient, economical and eco-friendly through biological process. This study aims to identify bacteria for liquid hydrocarbon degradation from the rivers in Wonocolo Village, Bojonegoro District and to determine maximum percentage of inoculum to produce the highest efficiency of liquid hydrocarbons degradation. Based on phenotypic characters, the selected bacteria was identified as a genus of Moraxella. Its bacterium with a concentration of 2 % can reduce hydrocarbons to a maximum of 0.67 % per hour at the exponential phase growth.

Laser Effect

While much is known regarding the effect of lasers on the retina, little study has been done on the effect of lasers on cornea, because of the limitation of the size of the material. Using a combination of electron microscope and several newly developed cytochemical methods, the effect of laser can now be studied on eye for the purpose of correlating functional and morphological damage. The present paper illustrates such study with CO2 laser on Rhesus monkey.

The advent of the scanning electron microscope (SCEM) has renewed interest in preparing specimens by avoiding the forces of surface tension. The present method of freeze drying by Boyde and Barger (1969) and Small and Marszalek (1969) does prevent surface tension but ice crystal formation and time required for pumping out the specimen to dryness has discouraged us. We believe an attractive alternative to freeze drying is the critical point method originated by Anderson (1951; for electron microscopy. He avoided surface tension effects during drying by first exchanging the specimen water with alcohol, amy L acetate and then with carbon dioxide. He then selected a specific temperature (36.5°C) and pressure (72 Atm.) at which carbon dioxide would pass from the liquid to the gaseous phase without the effect of surface tension This combination of temperature and, pressure is known as the "critical point" of the Liquid.
